To change the priority of an outgoing e-mail message

When you send a new message or reply to a message, you can assign the message a priority so the recipient knows to either look at it right away (high priority) or read it when time permits (low priority). A high priority message has an exclamation point next to it. Low priority is indicated by a down arrow.

• In the New Message window, click Priority on the toolbar, and then select the priority you want. Or, on the Message menu, point to Set Priority, and then select a priority option.

Note

• This setting assigns the priority only for the current message.
